VW ID. Buzz (2025) pricing by trim
MSRP + destination fee + typical state tax examples · prices from our EV database, verified
Volkswagen officially decided not to build a 2026 US model year, so dealers are selling down 2025 stock ahead of the 2027 model VW has announced — and discounting hard. MSRPs below are the official 2025 stickers; in spring 2026, dealer listings reported by The Autopian and Carscoops advertised new 2025 vans roughly $12,000 to $20,000 below sticker, so check current transaction prices before you buy.
282 hp, 234 mi EPA, 7 seats — heavily discounted in the 2026 sell-down.
Adds premium audio and content; 7 seats standard, 6 with the $695 captain's-chair option.
335 hp dual-motor AWD, 231 mi, captain's chairs standard (6 seats).
Typical out-the-door price by state
| State | Pro S RWD OTD | Pro S Plus RWD OTD | Pro S Plus 4MOTION OTD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oregon (0.5% vehicle privilege tax) | $61,853 | $65,370 | $69,893 |
| Florida (6% state rate) | $65,238 | $68,948 | $73,718 |
| Texas (6.25% motor vehicle tax) | $65,392 | $69,110 | $73,892 |
| California (7.25% statewide rate) | $66,007 | $69,761 | $74,587 |
Estimated out-the-door = MSRP + $1,550 destination + the state tax named in each row — before the heavy sell-down discounts dealers have been applying in 2026 (spring listings reported by The Autopian and Carscoops ran roughly $12,000 to $20,000 below sticker). Florida's county surtax (on the first $5,000 only) and California's local district taxes come on top. VW's 2025 trim sheet also lists a launch-only 1st Edition ($65,495 RWD / $69,995 4MOTION). No federal credit applies.

The Charge Port's Take
Hand-written editorial · last updated September 2026
No 2026 model year: what's going on
Volkswagen confirmed it will not build a 2026-model-year ID. Buzz for the US: "we have made the strategic decision not to move forward with MY26 ID. Buzz production for the US market," with the company selling down 2025 inventory and preparing for a model-year-2027 return. VW has announced the 2027 ID. Buzz — Pro S RWD, a new Pro S 4MOTION and Tourer 4MOTION, and Pro S Plus 4MOTION, with a NACS adapter included — but as of mid-September 2026 vw.com still lists the 2025 as the current model. So the Buzz is very much on sale in 2026 — but every new unit on a lot is a 2025, and that inventory math is why dealers have discounted hard: listings reported by The Autopian (February 2026) and Carscoops (May 2026) advertised new 2025 vans roughly $12,000 to $20,000 below sticker. For a vehicle that won 2025 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, that's a genuine window.
Trims, seating and the layout question
Three ongoing trims plus a launch-only 1st Edition: Pro S RWD ($59,995), Pro S Plus RWD ($63,495), and Pro S Plus 4MOTION ($67,995), all plus $1,550 destination. Seating is the key config decision — the Pro S's second-row bench gives you 7 seats; captain's chairs, standard on the 4MOTION and a $695 option on the Pro S Plus RWD, drop it to 6 but transform second-row comfort and walk-through access. RWD models make 282 hp / 413 lb-ft; the 4MOTION adds a front motor for 335 hp total and a manufacturer-quoted 6.0-second 0-60 (Car and Driver tested 5.5).
Range, battery and charging
Every Buzz carries a 91 kWh gross / 86 kWh usable battery. EPA range is 234 miles (RWD) or 231 miles (4MOTION) — modest for the price, and the honest number to plan around on highway trips is lower still. Charging is a strong suit: 200 kW DC peak with an official 10-80% in 26 minutes (about 79 miles added in 10 minutes), and 11 kW AC at home. The port is CCS1; Tesla Supercharger access opened November 18, 2025 via VW's $200 NACS adapter — and VW ran a $100 adapter rebate for first owners of 2025 models, but that claim window closed July 15, 2026 — the adapter is now full price.
How it stacks up
Nothing else in the US market does what the Buzz does — there is no other electric minivan-shaped vehicle here, which is exactly why it won North American Utility Vehicle of the Year for 2025 (by two votes over the Hyundai Santa Fe). Cross-shop it against a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid if you need maximum practicality per dollar, a Kia EV9 if you want three electric rows with more range, or a used Rivian R1S if capability outranks charm. Two recalls to check by VIN on 2025 models: 5,644 vans whose third-row bench was wide enough for three but had two belts (a trim-piece fix), and a software update for a brake warning light that could show the wrong symbol and color.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz cost?
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz starts at $59,995 MSRP for the ID. Buzz Pro S RWD and runs to $67,995 for the ID. Buzz Pro S Plus 4MOTION AWD across the 3 configurations we track. With Volkswagen's $1,550 destination fee, that comes to $61,545 to $69,545 before tax, registration and options. By trim: ID. Buzz Pro S RWD, $59,995 ($61,545 with the destination fee); ID. Buzz Pro S Plus RWD, $63,495 ($65,045 with the destination fee); ID. Buzz Pro S Plus 4MOTION AWD, $67,995 ($69,545 with the destination fee).
Is there a 2026 VW ID. Buzz?
No. Volkswagen officially skipped the 2026 model year for the US, selling down 2025 inventory ahead of the 2027 ID. Buzz it announced in May 2026 (Pro S RWD, Pro S 4MOTION, Tourer 4MOTION and Pro S Plus 4MOTION, with a NACS adapter included). Every new ID. Buzz on a US lot in 2026 is a 2025 — and that's the buying opportunity: in spring 2026, outlets including The Autopian and Carscoops found dealers advertising new 2025 vans roughly $12,000 to $20,000 under MSRP. Check current listings, since sell-down pricing moves fast.
What is the ID. Buzz's range?
EPA-rated 234 miles for RWD models and 231 miles for the 4MOTION AWD, from a 91 kWh (86 usable) battery. That's modest for the segment price — the trade-off for the van shape — but 200 kW fast charging (10-80% in an official 26 minutes) makes road trips workable.
Can the ID. Buzz use Tesla Superchargers?
Yes, since November 18, 2025, via Volkswagen's $200 NACS adapter (the Buzz has a CCS1 port). VW's $100 rebate on that adapter, for first owners of 2025 models, expired July 15, 2026 — budget the full $200.
How many people does the ID. Buzz seat?
Seven with the second-row bench on the Pro S (and on the Pro S Plus RWD unless you add the option), or six with captain's chairs, which are standard on the 4MOTION and a $695 option on the Pro S Plus RWD. The captain's chairs cost a seat but add walk-through access and much better second-row comfort. Note the seating-related recall on 5,644 vans — the third-row bench fit three people but had two belts; a trim-piece fix narrows it. Verify completion by VIN.
How fast does the Volkswagen ID. Buzz accelerate 0-60 mph?
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz hits 0-60 mph in 6 to 7.4 seconds depending on configuration — 6 seconds is the quickest of the 3 configurations we track.
How long does the Volkswagen ID. Buzz take to DC fast-charge?
On a DC fast charger, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz goes from 10% to 80% in roughly 26 minutes. At home on a Level 2 charger (240V), a full charge takes about 11–13 hours. A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only about 3–4 miles of range an hour (from EPA efficiency, depending on the trim), so it suits overnight top-ups rather than full charges.
Is the Volkswagen ID. Buzz available with all-wheel drive?
Yes — the Volkswagen ID. Buzz is offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. RWD trims are typically less expensive and slightly more efficient; AWD trims add a second motor for better traction in snow/rain and faster acceleration.
Does the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz qualify for a federal EV tax credit?
No. The federal Clean Vehicle Credit (IRC §30D) expired on September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — no new EVs purchased on or after October 1, 2025 qualify. State incentives remain available: see our /deals page for current rebates in California, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other states. The Section 30C EV Charger Tax Credit (for home charger installation) expired June 30, 2026 — if your charger was placed in service on or before that date, you can still claim it (30% up to $1,000) on your 2026 return via IRS Form 8911.
How long will the Volkswagen ID. Buzz battery last?
Real-world data from EV fleets suggests modern lithium-ion EV batteries (2020+) retain roughly 85–90% of their original capacity at 100,000 miles, above the 70% capacity floor in the Volkswagen ID. Buzz battery warranty, and 80–85% at 200,000 miles.
What is the Volkswagen ID. Buzz battery warranty?
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz battery warranty is 8 years / 100,000 miles, with a 70% capacity floor. It covers capacity loss below that floor, and the coverage transfers to later owners. Compare it with every other EV in our EV battery warranty rankings.

ID. Buzz charging, range & ownership tools
